Good Die Young

Only the good die young
As the saying goes
What is God trying to prove
As the destruction of one small town grows
Month after month another gets taken
Can’t even recover
As our hearts keep breakin’
Four wrecks in four  months
Four deaths an end so blunt
Cody Caleb Kody Whitney
The pain felt by your friends and family burns deeply
We know yall are looking down watching us and listening
So from Stockdale a message to hear
We love and miss yall completely way down here
And as time goes on we shall meet again
In a place where time doesn’t exist
And love and happiness will never end

Toxicity

Growing up you had the world given to you your way 
Everything you ever wanted until you came out as gay
Then your parents kicked you out like trash threw you away
Living on the streets until grandma let you stay
Seeing how you are grandpa gave up life and passed away
Lab rat bragging what you got and all the money you made
But at least I can read at the level of fourth grade
Bragging about how great you are but is it me or yourself you trying to persuade
Because when your girl left you you was reduced to using a blade
The ghost of your past that will never be laid
I don't live a rich fancy life but I earned everything I own
Well grandma hand you everything while you sit on your throne
I'm working to survive get married and own a home
You sitting around getting grandma to buy things so when she dies you won't be homeless and alone
Every time you quit you called back to me
But now I refuse to live with your toxicity
Called me a thief you at the hypocrite is the one to blame
You won't even give your best friend back her game
Yet I never took your stuff because I find it worthless and lame
And after four years I see that you are nothing but the same
Overtime all your friendships will wither
Hell you only care for one of your friends by trying to sleep with her
I am no longer going to wait around to be used by you
I only ever showed you support and loyalty too
Undeserving of everything you put me through
And yet is not enough now you threatened me with the crew
One day you'll be poisoned by your own toxicity
Maybe then you'll look back on your history
Maybe then you'll see what I say is true
The problem was never me it was you

I Am Sorry

Looking for forgiveness at the bottom of a 
bottle
But the Whiskey makes me feel lonely and 
hollow
No matter where you'd go I'd follow
I'm sorry everything I've done so shallow
Please understand I don't know why
I never meant to make you cry
Not even when I told my lies
I'll never forget the pain in your eyes
There is no protection from falling skies
Same effect when one heart dies
Everything crumbles when darkness flies
I put you down when all you did was try

Two Faced

I spoke with God today
I listened to everything he had to say
As he questioned everything I have done
Every choice that I have made
And the person I have become
I listened as he listed every sin
It got to the point where I had to butt-in
And it pissed him off when I said 
"At least I'm not the one who created Satan"

I spoke with the Devil today
I was courious for what he would say
When I asked about the list of sins to my name
And I believed when he said that he wasn't to blame

Because I am the unsung hero
Nobody knows the battle I have to fight
I am the evil villain
Because only the evil comes to the light
Because I am human not perfect
I can not always do what is right
Blood flowing from my fist
From when I shatter the mirror at night
I try with all my might
But I can't always win this fight
Turn aainst anyone, anytime at any place
You think you know me
But I will always be two faced

Night's Love

Dark clouds
Midnight
What was that
A quick flash of light
Rain pouring down
Look at that lightning strike
Feel the power raging on
Close your eyes you dont need your sight
A boy stands in the middle of an open field
Engulfed in flames
Eyes closed arms spread focusing
His hatred plays no games
His burns are his motivation
His past is his facination
Vengence is his sole occupation
One shot no demonstration
No drugs
No Hallucination
Only destruction can bring his jubilation

The one who loves him sends up a prayer
For an angel to help him in his dispear
To help him see more than betrayal in the air
And to soothe the pain he bears
To let him know someone cares

Immediately everything starts to cool
It starts to rain
Putting out his fire
Putting out his pain
Scared of the madness 
That nearly drove him insane

As the power of night unhinges
Everything shifts
Everything changes
He is standing in front of her
She is wrapping his heart in bandages
Standing face to face on a moon lit beach
All alone they start to speak
They fall for each other so fast
They are on a happiness high
For love begins in the night sky

Listen To the Rain

Listen to the rain
As it falls to the ground
Listen to it with your heart
The answers are all around
Listen to it with honesty
So much truth can be found
Listen to the rain
As it falls on your skin
Ask a question in your heart
That is the only way to begin
Listen to the rain
As it washes away your pain
Listen to what its saying
You have so much to gain

Cancer

It starts with one thing
and one thing always leads to another
I think he is indestructible 
Three forms of cancer can't stop my grandfather
Prostate Lung Pancreas cancers
Yet he fights them head on like a hammer
They say there is no cure
Could he have the answer
Can he win this fight
Can he master cancer
Can he win this race
Or will the cancer run faster
He doesn't ask for special treatment
No he just does what he can for his family
He doesn't listen to the doctor
He doesn't take chemo therapy
Doctors say he will die within months
Yet he lives on happily 
He goes through Hell
Yet he never shows it
I can't help but wonder how he does it
I pray no one else has to live through it
I wish I could understand how he feels
But the only way for that is to experience it
What is the meaning of courage
What is the meaning of strength
Is this the stuff of a legend
Or is this just having faith
Think about it
All your problems and only worrying about your family
Doing what ever it takes to make them happy
How much and what kind of love that must be

Guilty Conscience

Head pounding
Heart breaking
you feel that shake
the earth is quakeing
"I will stand alone"
What the hell was I thinking
Ending every chance for friendship
See all this hate I've been making
I seek forgiveness
A new quest I'm taking
But to open up and fall
The result will be devastating
I'm stuck not knowing what to do
This battle is never ending
And it seems that no matter what I do
My good intentions are failing
If I should break again
It'll be as tragic as a train derailing
But I can't risk fighting this war alone
Look at all these children
They all deserve a home
Something I don't deserve but got
These kids need help
And I want to provide alot
Church missionaries doing all they can
When they ask for help
We should all lend a hand
I'm tired of hearing about it
I want to do something about it
But I can't without help
I'm useless without it
I need to decide who I am
The mean loner I seem to be
Or the nice loving kid my parents used to see
The world is cold
People will stab you in the back
Its happened so many times to me
That I wont risk going through that
All it is is a fear
Stopping me from doing
A task that  I hold dear
A huge pain in my rear
But during every homeless comercial I see
Down my face runs a tear
The guilt that I was saved 
And so many wasn't
And the thought of helping them all 
Sure seems so pleasant
But its friendship and help I'm lacking
Instead of each other
Its poverty we should be attacking

Dark Places

When the dark
Leaves its mark 
Even in the pouring rain
You can see the spark
Corrupting your heart
You lose from the start
Tearing your world apart 

In dark places
Hides a ghost of our past
Take me home
Where love will forever last
Save my soul
So i can take off my mask
Because in dark places
Hides the ghost of my past

The brightest light
Comes in the night 
When true love takes flight
Everything feels right 
And you are freed from the wrong
You finally find your way
After you've been lost for so long
Look in those eyes
Time stands still
And your heart, it flies
Flies away in clear blue skies

In dark places
Hides a ghost of our past
Take me home
Where love will forever last 
Save my soul
So i can take off my mask
Because in dark places
Hides the ghost of my past

We fight
To bring the light
Into the night
End all the hate in sight 
Defeat this urban blight
No one is ever alone in this fight
We must make sure 
Make sure that love grows right

Because in dark places
Hides a ghost from our past
Take us home
Where love will forever last 
Save our soul
So we can take off our mask
Because in dark places
Hides the ghosts from all our past

Clock Is Ticking

Where are you
Who am I
Never a word from you
No hello, no goodbye
Someone else took me in
Taught me everything they knew
Someone has always been there
But that someone was never you
It is hard to fight anger
For a man will buy revenge with his soul
Eighteen years of stored up hatred
For your decision some twenty-two years ago
A life altering event
Didn't even leave me with a choice
No mother-child bond
Not even the sound of your voice
You gave me away
Never called, never sent a letter
An open adoption
A child left to wonder
And as the years flew by
A hole grew deep inside
With a hate that never died
All because you never tried
And everywhere I looked
Was nothing but lies
And maybe one day you'll wonder what became of me
Just maybe you will try to find me
Or maybe you will just leave it all to fate
Either way the clock is ticking
Hurry up and choose before its too late
